Twins Mary-Kateand Ashley forge in the movieindustry. The Jonas Brotherspioneer in youth pop-rockculture. And in athletics, sister’sVenus and Serena Williams tearup the floors of the tennis courts.Throughout the media, there aresiblings everywhere. But whereare the siblings here at Coral Reef?It seems to be that their fishingaround the tank everywhere, it’sjust that they’re so unique noone would ever recognize themamongst all the Cuda chaos.Take the Rahming twins forexample. Shoshanna and DevinRahming are fraternal twins, bothseniors in IB program. These twohave grown to look similar butyet be so different.They were both born June24th 1992 to their mother, Mrs.Hawatha Rahming.“Shoshanna is older than meby two minutes, so what. Shestill can’t beat me up and I’msmarter than her; that takes overeverything,” said Devin.“Devin and I are totally differentin regards to looks and personalitybut we are always going to bethere for each other. We actuallyare closer than what people think.I love my brother but I’m still hisolder sister, he better not get outof line, or I’m going to tell mymomma,” said Shoshanna.These two both play sports andexcel in the IB program.“It’s funny being in the IBprogram. Devin and I have beenin IB since the 9th grade. Theysay we are supposed to be amongthe some of the smartest people inDade County. Funny, we still haveteachers and students that don’tknow we are twins. And they’veknown us since 9th grade!” saidShoshanna.Although these two don’t getseen much in school together,when put together they are doubletrouble.“I’ve had Shoshanna and Devinin my French class together forthree years. They are good kidsbut, oh my, they can be a pain dueto their clashing at each other,”says IB French teacher, Mrs.LochetPicturing it could get noworst than twins, youwouldn’t believe how manytriplets we have amongstus. And boy do they comein different packages.The Feliciano sister’sand Wright trio are a primeexample.In the Feliciano clan,there are three lovely youngladies by the names ofAlexandra, Elisa, and Paula.In in the Wright trio thereis oldest brother Sterling,and then younger sistersShannon and Shawn. Nowwhen one thinks of tripletsthey think of everythingtripled right?In the case of theFeliciano sister’s it seemsto be a double plus one.“Alex and I are identical. Paulaon the other hand, is our fraternalsister. Along with that she’s alsoshorter than me and Alex. Soif you saw us all together youprobably couldn’t tell that we areall really related,” says Elisa, IBjunior.“Yes, I know I don’t resemblemy two older sisters but I likelooking different. It gives memore individuality. We arealways together so it’s hard tobe independent,” says PaulaFeliciano, Business junior.In case of the Wrights it’sjust an all around mix. Like theFeliciano’s we have two girls int h i s group, but with theaddition of anolder brother.Although thesethree may all be visually uniquethey are all rather similar on a lotof things.“Well we all look different butI think we are very similar. Wehave the same personality’s justdifferent energy levels. But otherthan that we are all in the sameacademy and involved in trackand field,” says Shannon Wright,Business junior.Being a triplet, things can getreal rough having two siblingsand everyone trying to getalong. Luckily, with the Wrights,they all do this very well, butthere’s nothing likea little friendlycompetition.“Being theoldest my sistershave to keepup withm e .I ’ mt h ePHOTO CREDIT: RAH’NIKA JONESThe Wright siblings love attending the same school, and hope tomaybe even attend the same college.smartest, and our mom loves methe most,” says oldest brotherSterling.“I love my brother and sisterbut being the youngest I haveto compete with them the mostso my opinion and actions canget recognized. And as forSterling, he swears he’s rightabout everything. He may be theoldest but still can’t beat me andShannon at racing. We are fasterthan him,” says younger sisterShawn.Getting away from the twinmood we still have a large amountof siblings that attend this schoolthat you could both picture beingand not being related. IB seniorAshley Subaran and MedicalFreshman Renee Subaran arewhat you can call picture perfectsisters, but in regards to totalopposites, brothers Oliver andAustin Acstoca could be no moredifferent. From their eyes to theirhair these brothers couldn’t bareto be anymore different than theyalready are physically. One wouldthink they’d connect on a moremental level, but while olderbrother Oliver enjoys listening tothe Phantom of the Opera youngerbrother Austin likes rock away toBlink 182.Although these two are unlike inso many ways their relationship isgreat.“Going to the same schoolwith my brother Oliver is cool.Yes we are complete oppositesbut I love the advantages of himbeing around, having a car is cooland getting to all the cool upperclassman parties is awesome.What more can a youngerbrother asks for,” says Austin,Engineering freshman.As for sisters Ashley andRenee things are almost singularbesides the different academies.Like in Hollywood, the Tank hasit share of siblings to. No matterhow similar or how differentbrothers and sisters are as close ashands and feet.
